Kenedy Half Dollar Appraisal

2020 D Kennedy Half Dollar

The item is a United States Kennedy Half Dollar coin, specifically minted in 2020. The obverse side, as visible in the image, features a left-facing profile bust of President John F. Kennedy. His hair is intricately detailed, showing individual strands. The coin's surface exhibits a metallic gray color with varying shades, suggesting some light wear and possible toning, though no significant damage or deep scratches are immediately apparent. The rim appears slightly raised and reeded (milled edges are visible), indicating standard coin manufacturing. Inscriptions around Kennedy's bust include 'LIBERTY' along the top circumference, with '2020' boldly displayed at the bottom, indicating the year of mintage. Below Kennedy's chin, the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is engraved. A small 'D' mint mark is visible just below Kennedy's neck, indicating it was minted at the Denver Mint. The overall condition appears to be circulated, but still retaining good detail on the design elements. There's a subtle sheen across the surface, typical of clad coinage. The craftsmanship, as expected for U.S. coinage, is precise and well-defined in essential features, though minor imperfections in striking or post-minting handling are present, such as small surface abrasions. The coin displays a classic American numismatic design, a tribute to a prominent historical figure.
